Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas within a piston–cylinder assembly undergoes a process from a state where p1 = 5 lbf/in.2 , V1 = 2.5 ft3

to a state where p2 = 20 lbf/in.2 , V2 = 0.5 ft3 . The relationship between pressure and volume during the process is given by p = 23.75 − 7.5V, where V is in ft3 and p is in lbf/in.2 . Determine the work for the process, in Btu.

Answer:

work 24.31 ft³/in²

Explanation:

The work in thermodynamic processes is given by a relationship between pressure changes and volume differences as follows:

W = - \int\limits^{V2}_{V1} {p} \, dV

In this exercise they give the pressure ratio P = 23.75 -7.5 V, so we can evaluate the integral between points two V1 = 2.5 ft3 and V2 = 0.5 ft3

W = - [23.75 V -7.5 V² / 2]

W = - [23.75 (0.5 -2.5) - 7.5 (0.5² - 2.5²) / 2]

W = - [-47.5 + 23.19] BTU

W = 24.31 ft3 / in2 = 24.31 BTU

Note that the work is positive since work is done on the gas to compress it.

An unspecified force causes a 0.20-kg object to accelerate at 0.40 m/s2. If 0.30 kg is added to the 0.20-kg object and the force
Naddik [55]

Answer:

a = 0.16

Explanation:

given,

mass of the object 1 = 0.2 kg

mass of the object 2 = 0.3 kg

acceleration when force is on 0.2 kg = 0.4 m/s²

acceleration when both mass are combine = ?

F = m a

F = 0.2 × 0.4

F = 0.08 N

force acting is same and total mass  = 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5 Kg

F = m a

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

a = \dfrac{0.08}{0.5}

a = 0.16 m/s²

the acceleration  acting when both the body is attached is a = 0.16

It is definitely letter D. <span>A1 and B1 are like poles, but there is not enough information to tell whether they are north poles or south poles.

A1 and B1 is either both north poles or both south poles. Repulsion of both magnets says it all--like poles always repel while opposite poles always attract. Thus, the best conclusion to this would be choice D.</span>

A spaceship flies from Earth to a distant star at a constant speed. Upon arrival, a clock on board the spaceship shows a total e
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

35 288 mile/sec

Explanation:

This is a problem of special relativity. The clocks start when the spaceship passes Earth with a velocity v, relative to the earth. So, out and back from the earth it will take:

10 years = \frac{2d}{v}

If we use the Lorentz factor, then, as observed by the crew of the ship, the arrival time will be:

0.8 = \sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } }

Then the amount of time wil expressed as a reciprocal of the Lorentz factor. Thus:

0.8 = \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } }

0.64 = 1-\frac{v^{2} }{186282^{2} }

solving for v, gives = 35 288 miles/s

What two factors determine the energy production of the Hoover Dam
swat32
Mar 28, 2011 · The Hoover Dam generates electricity using hydropower. Hydropower is the power generated by moving water. Dams are often built on a large river, so the water falls down from the top of the dam. At the bottom of the dam, the water rotates a large turbine
